Sprinkler system goes off during Reds BP

During a very intense professional baseball spring training camp, it is always nice to get some comic relief and give everyone a good laugh.  Days are usually filled with ballplayers working hard to prove to coaches and the front office that they are worthy of making a certain club level.  So the other day during batting practice for the Cincinnati Reds minor leaguers, it was nice for them to all laugh and smile.

Towards the end of the batting practice session, the sprinkler system at the Goodyear Complex accidentally went off, soaking players and coaches and sending them scrambling to pick up all of the baseballs and equipment before it was soaked and ruined.

I happened to be standing out at the fields at the time and was able to grab some video footage to share.
